Below is a preview of the Top Chef show tomorrow about cooking with fresh salmon. Brooke and Lizzie are in the spotlight here. (Goooooo, women! Do you know out of the 9 past seasons of Top Chef, a woman has only won ONE of them??)
Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Bravo.
It looks like Tom is quite pleased with Lizzie's method of preparing the salmon and a little puzzled by Brooke's method for preparing it. Lizzie's dad was a fisherman, so she probably has a connection to fish that many of us don't.
She said in the clip, "Each type of salmon is beautiful in it's own way".
She's right. Those salmon are breathtaking. Just stunning. So, I thought we would have a Salmon Beauty Pageant here today. We have five contestants and they are all vying for "Miss Alaska".
Which one is the prettiest to you?
Contestant #1: Coho Salmon ("Silver Salmon")

That is a really tough decision, isn't it? They are all just so, so gorgeous.
I am not sure how tomorrow night's show will play out. I am looking forward to seeing who out of Brooke, Lizzie, Josh and Sheldon make it to the next round and who will be battling it out in the Last Chance Kitchen, which, by the way, I wasn't watching like I am now. The clips are short and exciting! I am making a prediction that Lizzie won't get cut from this show, given her fishing background.
I am also interested to learn more about salmon. My cousin, who previously was a shrimper near Jacksonville, Florida, is now a fisherman in Washington State. He travels up to Alaska every summer to fish for salmon. That is ONE important trip, as A LOT of salmon are caught during that limited time frame. His teenage daughter has expressed interest in being a part of the fishing trip before. He told her that until she can go sit in the front yard and go to the bathroom in a bucket for all to see, she can't go on the trip. THERE IS NO BATHROOM ON THE BOAT.
NO. BATHROOM.
Yeah, I couldn't do it. Those fisherman WORK HARD and sacrifice a lot of basic luxuries so that they can pull in the most amount of fish during the time they have allotted.
So, anyway, it's all about salmon this week on Top Chef. Can't wait!
Which salmon do you think should crowned Miss Alaska?

I don't watch "Top Chef," but I wanted to add my perspective on this VIP (very important pageant.) First of all, they all accessorize so glamorously! Fancy fish, indeed! Sockeye scares the crap out of me and I think that Humpie has SO had work done...I'll go with Coho, simply because it kind of sounds like "Cocoa."
I am laughing out loud!! I love you, Abby!! Okay, I agree. Humpie has had some Botox or suh'n. Yes, Coho sounds like "Cocoa" and "SoHo" mixed together, so very glamorous, indeed. I'm also feeling really bad for Dog Salmon. I mean, poor thing is not starting out ahead. I think the ugliest prize has to go to Chinook. Chic Chinook.
All those salmon are disgusting. Fish are disgusting. This is like one of those horrible frat parties where the pledges compete to see who has the ugliest date. For shame, Kelley, for shame.
Yum. I love salmon. I can't wait to see what happens tonight! Thinking maybe whoever gets eliminated will then battle it out with Kristen to get back in. Unless that twitter contest comes into play... Anyway. My prediction of Lizzie winning is still looking good!
That would be awesome! Lizzie is truly such a nice person! She read this post and got a kick out of it. I know she's excited that you are rooting for her. Did you see her tweet to you the other day?
Hahaha!! You always make me laugh! You are right. It's a contest to see who can bring the ugliest girl, but the ugly girls don't realize that there is a contest. Oh, my heart! That is horrible!
Oh, Chinook, she's a doll, ain't she?
Total stunner. I'm jealous, actually.
